Great to hear! Thank you!

The visual element of the light up fretboard is both unique and extremely helpful. You're also one of the first I've seen to color code the notes while ALSO showing how the positions share notes. Ingenious.

You're the best guitar teacher I've come across on KZread! I love the way you just get right into playing across the WHOLE NECK without delay. It's perfect! Thank you!

You are a very dedicated teacher! I have been searching for pentatonic solo lessons so long. Finally, I’ve found yours.

Absolutely great lesson! This video is a gem, Gary!

Great video Gary ! ! Basic yet thorough and it progresses at a good pace for advanced students ! ! I was wondering if you could supply information for the guitar stand. You are now on my scope. I will check out your website and progress from there. Patreon sounds well worth it.

Thanks man!!!

And once you understand all of the patterns just 'link up' along the fretboard, you realize if you want to play in Em instead of Am you just slide that 'starting pattern' so it starts at the 12th fret instead of the 5th fret! Then you can 'magically' play the pentatonic scale in ANY KEY, just by 'sliding' that 'starting pattern' to whichever fret you 'root' note is located. ;)

Perfect practice routine bro ,,,,TY,,, 😎✌

You are a legend

Very nice video with great visual demonstrations. I wish more teachers would use this type of visual aid in their lessons. Fretjam is a favorite of mine for this reason. The types of "patterns" you refer to at 5:40 were a major breakthrough for me years ago. I prefer to use the term "sequence" since this is the terminology you will most often run into in discussions on music theory. What guitar teachers often don't mention and consequently beginner players don't seem to realize, is that these sequences are the building blocks of improvisation. For me the more sequences I added to my arsenal the better I got at soloing. You just have to get used to mixing and matching different sequences and stringing them together and/or ending them with slower melodic lines and all of a sudden you can practically play forever without running out of ideas. Especially once you learn to apply these sequences to different scales. Another major factor for me (which it sounds like you might touch on in your patreon lessons) was learning to look at the neck of the guitar as three sets of two strings and seeing all of the smaller two string patterns or "shapes" that the larger six string scale shapes are built from. This really gave me the freedom to move around on the fretboard in a way I hadn't experienced before. Dweezil Zappa has a lesson here on KZread called "the five shapes of freedom" that does a great job of demonstrating what I'm talking about here with regard to the pentatonic scale. For the diatonic scale and other 7 note scales these are known as the "hexatonic" patterns or simply "hexachords" for anyone who's interested. I'm really surprised that I don't see more lessons on this approach. For me, this along with practicing single string runs are the total cure for that "stuck in the box" problem so many players seem to find themselves in. Again, great lesson.

Great lesson, thank you, I need to work more with the metronome, it's something that has not bee a part of my practice routine,

I think your fretboard visualization just might turn on some lights for me in helping to get out of the same old playing rut 👍🏻. Thanks!

Cool!!!!!

Wow, where did you get that electric guitar stand/holder. I love it! Could you provide link etc….

thx g hope to meet u you high donation if blessed

That caged system opens up the eureka moment

Cool

These are great exercises MINUS the fact some of the steps trips the fingers up by not using proper fingering... 1234, 2345 makes it near impossible to use the pinky when hitting the 4th back to 2, you need to use the ring finger and trips me up being taught to always learn to use the pinky. Outside of adjusting this is great!

The "forward two back one" is that something you just created? I know the caged patterns and understand the importance of drilling those, but I'm trying to understand why to learn that forward two back one pattern. Thank you

i wish that people would also overlay the notes not just the numbers

'having good machinery' = "honing the vessel" as Vai says

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎸

Tried to learn a scale 30 yrs ago but never used them in soloing but something different

I can do the shapes for C but when I try another tone I have a hard time. Any tips? It almost seems like I’m memorizing the specific neck spots and not the patterns themselves

Whoa your guitar is floating

Does it make sense to expand this to the whole 7 diatonic scale and get the proper fingering right, making the pentatonic scale a stripped down version of that ?

@StreetPreacherr

Жыл бұрын

Sure, if you want to learn 7 note scales FIRST and then REMOVE 2 notes to play Pentatonic scales... I think most people find it easier to learn the 5 note pentatonic scale and then eventually ADD the 2 extra notes?

And I 'blame' all of these teachers who seem to promote those 'Pentatonic Boxes' or 'CAGED' systems, which just seem to make things MORE confusing, and even the names suggest being CONFINED to playing in a certain 'position', rather than promoting the 'exploration' and EXPLOITATION of the entire neck!

@heiah

Жыл бұрын

@@StreetPreacherr the book series: “fretboard logic 1-3“ which relies on the caged system helped me to find the symmetry in scale positions and made me understand when to play 2- or 3- note per string patterns or a combination of those to navigate the fretboard with intent, and connect chord shapes to harmony. Of course, first there was music, then came theory to make sense of it, talk about it, teach it. And innovation stems from exploration, sure. But that doesn’t mean systemisation is a bad thing It’s almost like: guns don’t kill, people do

@heiah

Жыл бұрын

@@StreetPreacherr seeing the CAGED system as restrictive is missing the whole point of it. it's a roadmap of intervals connected to shapes on the fretboard and resulting in fingering solutions for what you want to deliberately emphasise harmonically. what a teacher makes of it and how it is being communicated to newbies and beginners is a whole different story

Glad you like the video - Just FYI, all of the shapes you see in this video are in the key of A - but where I show the "m" as the minor root note, and the "M" as the major root note, all you have to do is slide the shapes around so that the "m" is the new root note, and you'll be in the right place - so for instance, if you want B Minor, you just slide all the shapes up two frets! I hope that helps! :D

Great lesson, but for me as a beginner (and a ‘logical’ rather than an ‘artistically’ minded person) why do so many guitar teachers insist on showing diagrams upside down from the guitar on screen (strings one to six) It means I have to go through a reversing mental process when visualising the graphics instead of just observing and copying them (if that makes sense 🤔).

@PowMusic

Hey Steve! Good question - I do this for a couple of reasons. The first is that it is consistent with all other forms of notation - Tablature, Staff Notation, and fretboard diagrams. The high notes are at the top and the low notes are on the bottom, and it's read left to right. It's also to stay consistant with the established common practice of the past few hundred years when drawing out notes on the fretboard. Although my videos are innovative in how they communicate information, some things I did not want to reinvent altogether, such as this. I find what is helpful to students for understanding both TAB and fretboard diagrams is just to think of the guitar sitting on your lap, and you looking down at it. All the best! Gary
